The BBC’s flagship Football Focus show has been taken off-air after host Alex Scott and the programme’s pundits said they would not take part in support of Gary Lineker.
The corporation announced on Friday that Lineker would be “stepping back” as host of Match of the Day after he tweeted criticism of the government’s asylum policy, in contravention of the BBC’s impartiality rules.
